QRSong! vs Hitify, Bopster and HitMaestro

A factual side by side of the tools that turn a playlist into printable music cards, based on what each one says on its own website.

How does QRSong! compare?

Several tools turn a playlist into printable QR music cards, and on the basics they are close: three of the four work with five streaming services, and all of them give you a PDF to print at home. They differ in three ways. How you play: QRSong! has its own free app for iPhone and Android, which keeps the answer hidden and lets you choose the full song or a set number of seconds, starting at a random point on Spotify and Apple Music. Bopster offers much the same in the browser, while Hitify and HitMaestro play a 30 second preview, with the full song through Apple Music on Hitify or in Spotify on HitMaestro. Paper: QRSong! and Hitify also print the cards and send them to you, Bopster and HitMaestro are print at home only. Paying: Bopster is free with ads, Hitify has a free PDF of up to 100 songs, and QRSong! and HitMaestro are a one-time purchase. Only QRSong! offers a gift box in your own design and lets you give the whole app your own colours, photo and logo.

Who you are buying from

Some tools in this space publish no company details at all. If you are spending money on a gift, it is worth knowing who you are dealing with and where to turn if something goes wrong.

A registered Dutch company

QRSong! is a Dutch B.V. with a CoC number, a VAT number and a real postal address, all listed at the bottom of every page.

Reviews you can check yourself

Our reviews sit on Trustpilot, an independent platform, and they are for QRSong! itself. Reviews published on a company's own website cannot be verified the same way, and a rating collected under a different brand does not tell you much about this product.

Your rights as a customer

Because we are a registered European business, you get the protection that comes with that, including the 14 day right of withdrawal and a real address to send a question to.

Also built for businesses

Bars, pub quizzes, events and companies use QRSong! with their own branding, invoicing and volume pricing. That side of the business keeps the consumer product properly supported.

What customers say

★★★★★

Finally a reputable provider, top quality!

"We gave 300 cards including 2 gift boxes for a 50th birthday and it was amazing! ✨ Unfortunately, we almost fell for another dodgy provider and were very glad that everything went smoothly with QR Song! 🫶🏻 The value for money is right and the quality of the cards is great… you can tell that a lot of passion goes into it."

Anna

★★★★★

For great summer evenings with the family

"Our summer evenings with the family became a lot more fun thanks to our personalised Hitster game. Just as easy to play. The printing and delivery went very smoothly. Very happy with this experience;"

kv

★★★★★

Highly recommended

"Really super happy with the cards and their customer service!! After payment, you could still fully personalise the titles, artists + extra info yourself. You could even change songs in the Spotify playlist afterwards, as long as the total number stayed the same as what you paid for. Unfortunately, something went wrong for me when submitting the changes, so they weren't processed properly. But they responded incredibly helpfully by email and still adjusted everything manually. If you want to make your own Hitster, I would absolutely recommend ordering here. The price/quality/service ratio is really great!"

★★★★★

Fantastic!

"For our company, we made a Hitster with all our colleagues’ favourite songs. It was quick to make, playing it with QRSong’s own app works like a charm and is great fun. Fantastic service!"

Jesse

★★★★★

Wow

"Wow, what great and fast service! It saves you so much work, you can upload your own Spotify playlist and they turn it into Hitster/QR cards. The years are verified and you have plenty of options to give the design a personal touch. Hats off! Highly recommended!"

Outstanding service!!!

"Besides that this is just THE BEST GIFT EVER, the service of this company was outstanding. This gift made somebody feel very special. I'll definitely order again!!!"

Frequently asked questions

Work out which parts you want to do yourself. If you only need a PDF to print at home, most tools will do that. The things that actually differ are whether there is an app to scan and play with, whether they print and ship the cards for you, whether the same deck plays more than one game, and who you can contact if an order goes wrong.
Several have a free tier for a digital PDF, usually with a limit on how many songs you can include. Printed cards cost money everywhere, because someone has to print and ship them. QRSong! is a one time purchase with no subscription, and the price is on the pricing page before you start.
The free QRSong! app for iPhone and Android is what keeps the answer hidden until someone flips the card, plays the full song instead of a short preview, and lets you choose how long it runs. Scanning with a plain phone camera opens the track in a browser, which shows the title, artist and year before anyone has had a chance to guess. The app also reads Hitster cards and selected other music QR cards.
With QRSong! it can. App Designer gives the free QRSong! app your own background photo or colours, logo and font, plus a help text of your own, from the first card that is scanned. It is a one-off $10.50 for your whole account: add it while ordering, where we make the design from your cards, or later from your account, and change it whenever you like. Of the other tools, only Bopster shows something of your own when a card is scanned: donors see their own card artwork in Bopster Live.
Not all of them. Some only give you a PDF to print and cut yourself. QRSong! prints the cards on 350 gsm stock and ships them worldwide, and you can still take the PDF option if you would rather do it at home.
It is worth checking the privacy policy of whichever tool you use, and whether there is a company behind it you could actually contact. QRSong! is a Dutch B.V. with a published Chamber of Commerce number, VAT number and postal address, and our privacy policy is linked in the footer of every page.
QRSong! has a business offering with your own branding, custom boxes, invoicing and volume pricing, used for pub quizzes, company events and gifts. Not every card generator offers this, so it is worth asking before you plan an event around one.
